GCSE results 2014: Independent schools table

The Telegraph's searchable independent school GCSE results table 2014 shows
the percentage of students obtaining A*/A at independent schools across the
country

The Telegraph independent school league table is created using data supplied by the Independent Schools Council (ISC). Around 50 schools boycott the tables, which means that not every school is listed.

The GCSE and IGCSE results table ranks almost 400 fee-paying schools by the proportion of entries graded A*/A, schools with less than 25 candidates have not been included.

A separate table for state school GCSE results was published last week.

In tables published by the Telegraph, North London Collegiate School in Edgeware climbed from second place last year to first place this year. At the top-performing institution, almost 99 per cent of exams were graded at least an A and 86 per cent were awarded elite A* grades.

The school runs IGCSEs in subjects including foreign languages, science, maths, geography, music, English language and computing. They also revealed that they have introduced pupils to A-levels two years early, amid claims normal GCSEs are no longer stretching.

Wycombe Abbey School, an independent girls' boarding school in High Wycombe, was second with 98.5 per cent A*/A, climbing from seventh place in 2013 when the school achived 95 per cent A*/A.
